From the spring runways to celebs like Mila Kunis and Solange Knowles, metallic cap-toe heels are having a pretty major moment this season. Whether you like a gold-toe like Mila in Christian Louboutin or prefer a silver option like Solange’s Stuart Weitzman heels, there are a ton of color-ways and patterns at different price-points out there to choose from.

Alright reports all over the damn internet are saying that Marc Jacobs will totally be replacing John Galliano at Dior.
Marc’s contract at Louis Vuitton is almost coming to an end and now LVMH is trying to convince him to take on Dior before they renew him for another stretch at LV.
If he accepts, Jacobs will head over to Dior with his business partner Robert Duffy and in turn the incredible Pheobe Philo of Céline will take his place at Louis Vuitton.
Who saw this one coming?
Kanye West lands the latest cover of VMAN and was shot by Karl Lagerfeld or K-Lag as we like to call him here. The outspoken rapper sports Louis Vuitton and literally puts his money where his mouth is.
K-Lag even praises Kanye saying, “His strength is mixing music and fashion. He has an instant instinct for what looks and sounds good. He makes everything new and different.”
Read on for the rest of Kanye’s Spread…

Earlier we featured Rihanna’s flowery cover for January’s Interview Magazine. Yup, the same one in which Kanye West interviews her and confuses the eff out of RiRi.
Here are some stunning photos from her spread also shot by Mikael Jansson featuring the singer decked in some Louis Vuitton, Chanel and more.
Thanks to photographer Todd Selby, we are given a look inside Pharrell Williams’ incredible Miami apartment (yes, I did say apartment). It is obvious Pharrell trumps all Family Guy fans considering all the one-of-a-kind pieces he exhibits in his home. Pharrell is of course wearing a Miami-appropriate outfit consisting his favorite Chanel denim glasses and a pair of badass Band of Outsiders for Sperry Deck Shoes.
Looks like his GF Rihanna is rubbing off on him because Los Angeles Dodger, Matt Kemp was spotted in New York wearing an outfit that consisted of mostly Louis Vuitton.

P.S. Who had any idea that the Apple store attracted more visitors than the Statue of Liberty? Crazy!
After releasing a small capsule collection with Louis Vuitton in ’09 Sophia Coppola has unveiled a more extensive collection of handbags in different shapes and shades for the fashion house again.
This is definitely one of the perks of having Marc Jacobs as one of you BFFs. I’m super sad right now.
This Fall collection of bags is absolutely gorgeous and is making my heart race because I’m dying over the black croco one above. Ugh don’t these pieces just scream class? Coming from Sophia Coppola what else can you expect?

Inspiration: Marc Jacobs’ inspiration for his Spring 2011 Louis Vuitton collection was The China Girl and absolute opposite of the minimalism we’ve been seeing lately.
Top Trends: Animal prints, the Chinese Cheongsam cut, metallics, flapper-esque fringe end COLOR.
Accessories: There was a slew of bold logo clutches donning not only the signature LV monogram but Vuitton block text as well. The models wore minimalistic strappy heels to balance out the elaborate outfits and true to China Girl style, there were tons of fans.
Favourite Looks: The colorblock jumpsuits, the caped colorblock dress and all of the accessories.
Thoughts: Marc Jacobs knows how to create a collection that will get people talking. He brought the runway back to life with his flamboyant designs and inspired us after having witnessed what seems like a simple collection after simple collection from other designers.
More pictures after the jump.

Louis Vuitton
A veritable celebration of women and their curves was on display at Louis Vuitton, courtesy of Marc Jacobs. The full mid-length skirts and wasp waisted corsets were given a youthful, Parisian twist, with barely-there make up and full, blown-out ponytails. Boxy, structured bags and court shoes adorned with bows completed the look, as modelled by some of the classic supermodels, who prove decades later, they’ve still got it, and are more than willing to flaunt it.
Burberry
For Autumn/Winter 2010 the coat has established itself as a worthy investment piece, and nowhere was this more apparent than at the Burberry Prorsum show. Christopher Bailey offered up variations on the military coat, as well as single handedly triggering this season’s frenzy for sheepskin aviator jackets. Combining the masculine cuts with feminine lace dresses, pencil skirts and jewel coloured ruching, and topped off with a pair of thigh high leather boots, the looks were all about balancing hard and soft elements for a new take on the military trend.
Celine
A masterclass in minimalism, Phoebe Philo once again provided a collection of chic, classic designs which topped every fashion editors new season wish list. Comprised of exquisitely cut coats, mid-length skirts and ankle length trousers, the beauty of the collection was in its simplicity. The mainly monochromatic palette, showcased a selection of feminine, wearable separates, which were easily styled with a pair of opaques and leather riding boots. The lack of showmanship allowed the clothes to speak for themselves, proving that purism can be far from boring.

U2 front man, Bono and his wife Ali Hewson front the lastest Louis Vuitton ad, not wearing LV clothing but Edun, the brand the signer and his wife started in 2005. It’s the first time a Louis Vuitton advertisement has featured another label’s clothing. Only Bono.
LVMH might be looking to add Rodarte into their clan of upscale brands like Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy. Reportedly, LVMH has had a few talks with Rodarte about investments and ceo of LVMH, Pierre-Yves Roussel was spotted at Rodarte’s Fall/Winter show earlier this year.
We will just have to wait and see.
